Hey guys/gals,

I'm always intrigued by how different photographers see and photograph the same thing, differently...


The only thing that I'm fairly sure we all see the same, is the moon.


Post up your pics --- let's see how different they look :thumb


I'll start -- "I posted this one a while back"

    Wow...

    Can we put focal lengths in our posts? I would love to know what range gets what kind of shots.

    Mines just my canon 400mm L f5.6 prime. Cropped photo of course but the lens is that sharp its lets you crop that heavy.

    The moon was not as easy to expose as i first expected though & one must remember that its really honking along at a decent clip so i would never use slower than say 1/200.

    What technique is involved here? The moon has never looked this way to me (is that how it looks in TXrolleyes1.gif ?)! It's fabulous -- if I had taken it, it'd be printed at 24x30 and framed! Honestly -- stunning. KD

    Cool shots guys thumb.gif


    KED,

    Thanks for the kind words.


    The process that I used to make this image is the following:
    • Take a picture of the moon properly exposed.
    • Open image in PS2 --- create a "levels" layer. Move middle slider till you get this look --- easy as pie :D
    Now, go make you one thumb.gif

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Happy New Year.

    Here is the one I decided to share. This is from the full eclipse we saw here back in August. The dark spot is the shadow starting to cover the moon. I have really enjoyed seeing all of the different versions of the same subject.

    Enjoy

    Hello RWells !
    Have a 2008 with Health !:D

    IN fact, I did use the ST-E2 with the 430 EX bounced to the sky.
    I have seen, with surprise that the thing worked ! Can you believe this ?
    Fantastic. Try yourself. Amazing results ! clap.gif
